About Me

Gee whiz... What do I do for a living? Well, I live. I'm a liver of life. I may not be ace at what I do, but at least I can say I enjoy it, which is more than a lot of people can say for themselves. I'm like a plant- give me love, water, and plenty of sunshine, and I'm happy. However, I often prefer moonshine to sunshine. Art and music=LOVE. Love=Happiness. Give me art and I'm good to go... or stay. Whichever. Give me all kinds of art- I'm non-discriminatory. If you are art, give me YOU. I paint, dance, sing, write nonsense, play my guitar, dream, act, listen to music, listen to people, cook, shop (yes, shopping IS an art, darling), and do plenty of other things that feed my soul. Jesus, I sound like a damn hippie. lol Anywho, that's basically me, and although "me" is always changing, there are a few things about me that never will, primarily the facts that: I love food. I love to daydream. I'm going to be an accomplished actress one day (and an author, and musician). I believe in faeries. And lastly but not leastly, music is always going to be both my drug and my anti-drug. Amen.

I'm scared to turn 18. Turning 18 means all kinds of wack shit, especially for girls. Being a minor, I'm now realizing, was a blessing of sorts. Adults, in this society, are expected to show no weakne...
